[The clinical management of co-occurring insomnia and obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome].

Insomnia and OSAHS are the comorbid diseases among the most common sleep disorders with high incidence. They both interact with each other apart from combined symptoms, therefore are defined as co-occurring insomnia and obstructive sleep apnea(CIO). CIO causes more serious damage to patients than single insomnia or OSAHS does, resulting in complex clinical treatments. However, the traditional treatment of CIO aims at solely OSAHS or insomnia patients with poor efficacy and compliance. Therefore, further investigation is required to elucidate the clinical mechanism and to optimize concurrent treatment for OSAHS and insomnia.
